A Negotiation Process Approach for Building Federated Databases

The negotiation process is often referred to in the literature on federated databases, but is seldom covered in depth. This process is essential to determine data of the component schema to be integrated for building a federated schema and the access permissions to be granted. This paper presents our negotiation process approach which is incorporated in the integration schemas mechanism, so we can lie in getting the beneet of work realised in analysis and resolution phases of integration schemas needed for negotiation process.
